ThereB次元官网网址檚 officially a new police chief in Oak Bay.

Mark Fisher was sworn in as the departmentB次元官网网址檚 new chief constable Tuesday morning (Sept. 6) during a ceremony which also recognized the legacy of the outgoing chief, Ray Bernoties.

B次元官网网址淚 see a police department like this almost like a professional hockey team,B次元官网网址� Bernoties said. B次元官网网址淎 small police department B次元官网网址� itB次元官网网址檚 quite easy to sit in the back seat and wait for a bigger police department to do something B次元官网网址� any sort of change or anything like that B次元官网网址� But that wasnB次元官网网址檛 the way that Oak Bay did that. And thatB次元官网网址檚 not because of anything that I did B次元官网网址� thatB次元官网网址檚 right from the top, thatB次元官网网址檚 right from ownership, general management, coaching staff and the players on the ice who made it all happen.B次元官网网址�

Fisher, who previously served as police chief from 2011 to 2014, returns to Oak Bay after serving as Nanaimo RCMPB次元官网网址檚 detachment commander and, most recently, Saskatchewan RCMP commanding officer.

B次元官网网址淭hese are challenging times in policing,B次元官网网址� Fisher said. B次元官网网址淪o as we move forward, one of my key roles as chief, I think, is to leverage that experience B次元官网网址� to build on it for the betterment of the department, but also to improve our service to the community.B次元官网网址�
